Do you're self a favor and stay away. First off there are no shopping cartsI guess the people take them home and don't return them. It's so dirty and the people that shop there are questionable. Will never ever shop there. read more

Its a pretty clean safeway. Easy to Navigate with the way the aisles are setup. On par with the other Safeways i have been inside. Lots of lanes open, Self Checkout was a breeze. read more

This store is great. The staff is friendly and helpful. There is always fresh selection of fruits and veggies. The pharmacy here is great and if you transfer a scrip from another pharmacy, you get a $25 off $50 coupon which is good toward any future purchase. FYI...if you're living a gluten free, dairy free, or gluten & dairy free life, like me, they have a small, but growing, section of foods especially for people like you and me who have special dietary needs. read more

Awful, nasty smell on all of the chicken. Our entire car smelled by the time we got home and we had to throw out all of the chicken we bought when we got home because we didn't feel safe to eat it. The rest of our experience was fine but this was so bad that we will not be returning to Safeway. read more

Don't expect much from this place. About one out of every 5 items is rang higher than the prices marked on the shelf. The cashiers are horribly slow, and the self-checkout seems to work for about 5-10 items before screwing up and requiring one of the slow cashiers to try to fix it. Shelves are haphazardly stocked. And I too have found moldy/rotten food on display. If you need help finding anything. ask another customer--far more helpful than the employees. And, yes, a grocery who rents their very own DPD officers instead of just calling them once in a while is an interesting place to shop. I recommend early morning or late nite for the most entertainment. Unless you are desperately low on gas, or transportationally challenged, drive, walk, or crawl to any other grocery in town. You're welcome. read more

The Good: If you live in Uptown or San Rafael (the neighbourhood that this place is located in), it's convenient, close and I get my meds here. The drumettes that I like to buy are at a reasonable price. And the majority of the time you can process stuff quickly at the service desk. The Bad: The strawberries here suck every time. They have Driscolls and no matter how ripe they look, they still taste sour compared to King Soopers! Some items are overpriced like hell that I would rather hop into my car and drive all the way over to Cap Hill to shop at King Soopers! The WTF: Nobody knows how to queue up at the fucking self-check out. People are so damn blind in this neighbourhood that they don't even check to see if there are people waiting in a line in the aisle as to not block the pathway. They don't even LOOK. read more

This grocery store is okay. They usually have everything I'm looking for and often send out $10 off coupons, which is nice. Their fish sucks, I gotta say, but we are landlocked and I couldn't find better at the Whole Foods either. I haven't tried their baked goods besides their donuts which are your typical grocery store donuts. I like the Pharmacy staff. They seem competent enough and the line usually isn't longer than 2 people. Docking off stars for the incredibly sketchy parking lot and the number of sketchy people that frequent this place. I've heard it not-so-lovingly referred to as the "unsafeway" and while that might be a little too harsh, there is an air of truth of it. Having said that, there's almost always a police officer in the parking lot, which I appreciate. Maybe it's because I'm from a big city, but while sketchy, I've never actually felt unsafe. read more

It is called the un-safeway for a reason! The "safe" time is around 8pm or early in the morning. The selection is usually pretty good, prices of things are on sale are usually pretty good, the just for u items are usually good too. But regular price is generally higher, so only buy on sale I've harassed the staff to get me things on the top shelf, helped me with the self service check out and more. IT is the closest option for grocery shopping, not walkable, but less than stapleton from downtown. read more

I live about 2 blocks from this grocery store. Even though I have found it more expensive than King Soopers I choose convenience over price. The best part of my last visit was when I was looking at the salads an employee named Candice approached me and asked if there was something I was not seeing and she could look for it. I wanted two bags of salad but I only found one. Candice ran to the back of the store and got another one for me. The customer service that I get from this store is usually pretty good and thats what keeps me coming back. read more

Ah the Un-Safeway. It's located in a slightly-sketchy area of town, has a seemingly-permanent group of intoxicated drifters hanging around, and the prices are a bit higher than elsewhere. I'm a big dude, 6'3" and 220lbs+, so I usually don't have people hassle me. But it has happened here. Sorry, I'm not giving you a dollar dude, you're holding a beer and are obviously drunk now. Go away. No, spitting on the ground and cursing me isn't going to change my mind. Staff is fine. Selection is fine. Keep your eyes up, looking forward, and don't give in to the rabble and you're fine. I still go to "Queen Soopers" in Cap Hill though for most of my groceries. read more

It's the only grocer anywhere near my work/home so I have no choice but to go here. There is a really cute cashier sometimes so I'll go 2 stars. King Soopers PLEASE open a store north of Colfax, PLEASE!!! read more

Safeway - Grocery Near Me - Denver, Colorado

This is by far the worst Safeway, and overall grocery store, I have had to enter. Not only are they extra rude, the guest services department is worked by sloths. read more

I live near this Safeway and that's the only reason I shop there. Of course there are always decent sales if you watch the ad but that's not a "Five Points Safeway" thing, it's a Colorado Safeway thing so I can't give them any props for that. Many of the employees are rude and unhappy and do not want to help you. Some of them are great (sorry guys) and always have smiles, are super helpful, and are great to talk to, but it's always the few that are grumpy all the time that make my visits unpleasant. The security they hire is also a joke. They harass some people (me occasionally) and are rude and don't really do their job. I have nothing against transient and homeless people, but it is a problem when you see them blatantly steal and the security lets them walk and checks the receipt of someone who waited patiently through the check out line. read more

If you want to catch COVID-19, this is the place to get your groceries! I was appalled by the seeming total lack of effort on the part of the security guards at the door and the employees throughout the store. About 1 in 4 customers in any sort of mask, and NO one social distancing, paying any attention to the "great" one-way aisle stickers - Safeway, it's only a good idea if anyone does it... There is no excuse - Home Depot and other grocery stores (the ones we'll now be shopping with) can manage it. I don't see what's wrong with this store. But if you care about your health, you should stay far away. Only giving one star because Yelp won't let you post anything lower. read more

Items don't ring up correctly, there aren't ever any carts (I had to ask for one as I stood there with my 11 week old and the two guards said there was a lady who was bringing in carts. After a few minutes I had to walk to the parking lot to get my own). The store is also expensive. $4 for A1 is a little much. read more

As a frequent customer (every week), I love the product selection and availability of sale items. The service counter employees are friendly and helpful as well. However, I am perplexed with the staffing on the checkout lanes. 5-7pm is always a busy time for the grocery industry. I have 10+ years experience working for family owned grocers on the retail side, as a vendor for distributors, and finally as a corporate consultant for SUPERVALU. I have never experienced a store with such consistent issues with checkout lane staffing in those 10 years. What is the deal, Safeway Uptown? Only having one checkout lane, and 4-5 self service kiosks open (while the others are *not working*) is unacceptable during the busiest time of day, for the volume your store pulls in sales. Your grocery aisles are clogged up with lines of customers waiting to checkout. Store management needs to get with the program, perhaps visit nearby grocers that don't seem to have this issue (i.e. king soopers, sprouts, trader Joe's) to get inspiration on how to manage your cashier schedules. The customer complaints in these long lines are rampant every single time I shop at your store. read more

Up until recently, this Safeway has been two stars at best. You walk in, and there aren't ever any baskets at the front of the store. It's like a fun scavenger hunt to find one. At any given time, most of the checkout aisles that would have attendants are closed, leaving open only the self scan machines. Normally, that would only be a minor hassle, but half of those machines are packed together so tightly that you're screwed if you have more than two bags' worth of groceries. The store employees are pretty close to worthless: they can't help you find anything with any reasonable speed. You've got a better chance finding it on your own. That said, the food itself is generally affordable and of good quality. So why the one star review, you ask? Well, tonight I walked to the store after the gym, around 8:15. Normally it has to be after 10 for the local Safeway to turn into the un-Safeway, but not tonight! Tonight, there are two piss drunk beggars sitting outside the store. One of them falls to the ground, right in front of me. I offer him a hand up, and both he and his friend start cursing at me. No good deed, right? So I go inside and tell the security guard that there are two homeless people outside, literally so drunk they're falling in the parking lot. He goes outside, and is back in less than 30 seconds. He tells me that they're outside of the store limits, so there's nothing he can (will?) do. I tell him, this might be why people refer to this place as un-Safeway, and he just shrugs at me as though he doesn't give a damn. Then, when I finish checking out, I see him safely sitting on ass, playing around on his phone. As a guy without a car, living in Five Points, un-Safeway is literally my only viable option for groceries. But for those of you who have a car and/or a choice, go anywhere else! This place is a disaster. read more

I went to buy a particular rose that I went everywhere looking for ,and Safeway had it and it was broken up outside of a dozen and they refused to sell it to me with the excuse that they would loose money ,I'm pretty sure they wouldn't loose anything in compared to a loyal costumer , this was for a very special person in the hospital ,and they were incredibly rude about it ,I will start going to king soopers after 10 years + of going to safeway ,its very upsetting ,not only that she was incredibly rude ,I have a friend with a fatal disease and would of made a a world of difference ,I'm giving safe way on south Logan negative 5 stars and no more of my buissness read more

Worst grocery store eva. I used to live across the street and was pumped to have food so close. but I quickly got sick of literally having the cashiers talk shit to me for various unreasonable reasons. Also, got bored of waited for the cashier to purchase boot leg dvds from his friend while ringing me up. so even tho I lived a block away I started going to another store. I recommend sunshine market in highlands if you dont mind going up there read more

Went There Yesterday To The Meat Department,And I Saw A Young Lady Prep A Dish For The Display Without A Mask.I Saw That She Had A Protective Scarf Around Her Neck,But Didn't Put It On.So I Said,Nice Scarf,Obviously She Didn't Get The Hint,So She Kept Working On My Salmon Order.Through Out The Hold Process,She Still Didn't Wear Her Mask.Later,I Saw Her In An Isle,And I Said,Are You Going To Put Your Scarf On?!She Looked At Me,And Gave Me A Half Of A Smile,And Kept Doing What She Was Doing.Even Though I Paid For 2 Pounds Of Salmon From Her,I Took The Salmon And Threw It Away.Who Wants To Take That Risk!I Think I Will Only Just Go To King Soopers From Now On! read more

Great selection, affordable prices. Could have been a little cheaper on the boxed wine though.

Yeah, I know the Un-Safeway joke. But seriously, the absolute best grocery store in New York is about three stars below this place, which makes it heaven. This place is a rev behind a lot of the newer Safeways, but they still have a lot of stock, and it's close to my apartment. There are good deals to be had (I think I bought 96 cases of Coke for the price of 3 over the holiday weekend) and the staff are generally okay. I never saw armed guards outside; I've never had anyone ask me for money; I've never had any problem with the homeless; I've never seen someone smoking crack there; and I've never felt threatened. Yeah, the place could use a coat of paint, but I've never seen rats eating the food there, I've never seen homeless people bagging your groceries for you; I've never seen cashiers ask for tips; I've never seen cashiers talking on their cell phones during the entire transaction; I've never had to pay extra to get my 2-liters refrigerated versus warm; and I've never had to deal with six-packs of Cokes being the only size they carried because the store is the size of my living room. All of these happened to me regularly at my neighborhood grocery in New York. Count your blessings. read more

Store is fine but they need to do something about the parking lot. It has a reputation for being called "the UNsafeway" My wife wont shop here by herself read more

Rude employees. Can't use the self check out after 10. Prices are usually higher than king soopers. Always seem to get harrased by a vagrant or someone begging for change in the lot. read more

I was staying at the hostel few blocks down and needed to pick up a few things. It was in a pretty ghetto neighborhood but whatever, I've been to Riverside (California). One thing that really disgusted me were the flies. There were flies all around the bakery section. There were even flies inside the shelfs and cabinets holding the donuts and stuff. I just got water and some frozen food. I would never go there to shop for my groceries. STAY AWAY! read more

This place is RIDICULOUS!!!!! Approx 35% of the shelves are empty (or holding expired products). The only lane ever open that is not self-check Is express, 15 item max. There are homeless people begging for money IN THE STORE. The produce stockers don't rotate produce, neither do meat stockers. Literally every single roll but one of plastic produce bags were empty. I found string cheese that expired on sept 12. I realize this location is in denver's famous Five Points neighborhood, but Five Points is no longer strictly gang territory and is now housing ppl paying $3k a month for rent. Not that the *should* matter & effect the quality of merchandise, but it does. Thank God a new King Sooper's just opened on 20th, I guess I'll have to try them (they have an average of 5 stars...) read more

Walked over here to shop and by the time I got here I needed to use the men's room. They said no because they have had trouble with other people using it. Don't punish good patrons for bad. Your higher prices aren't worth the trouble. I'm taking my business elsewhere. read more

It's okay to get what you need, but nothing great about this place, unfortunately. The "Unsafeway" moniker was earned by its location, but I find the clientele or people hanging outside are never ones to bother anybody. The issue with this place, aside from the fact it is dying to be renovated, is the staff. Aside from one woman, whose name I wish I remembered but I believe she is a manager and absolutely phenomenal (a bright spot in this dim place), the staff is completely uncaring, inefficient, and uninterested in helping or being friendly. They have everything you need and your grocery shopping job will get done, but it will not be an experience you look forward to repeating. With the new King Soopers opening my eyes to how grocery shopping could be it will be difficult to visit this location again. read more

OK, so yes it was definitely time to fix the old Safeway. I am so very glad that they did this, except I am puzzled by a few things. Everyone talks of the "improved" lighting when the store actually dimmed the lights in the produce section. This was confirmed by 2 different managers, that the overall lumens were less in that area as to increase customer satisfaction with produce. Does this mean that in dim light we are more attracted to apples and broccoli? I'm confused. Second, they have changed the location of most of the items that were in the same isles for years. Then, they also removed the boards alerting you to which isle items could be found, because if you have to look for something, you might find other things you don't need that you will then buy. If you can read a board that tells you exactly the isle, you don't wander around aimlessly for hours, picking up junk that is "on sale" that was not on your list of needs. The bakery is still the bakery, but the breads have gotten better. The deli is a little better, with the sandwich station being a big hit. I also like the olive bar. I have to say though, with no doubt, my favorite part of the renovation is the 12 self-service bays! this speeds up the pay and bag part of the deal immensely! I wish everywhere had this feature, I swear! I would have rated the "new" Safeway 2 stars were it not for this feature, but this makes up for a whole lot. read more

Safeway cookies have the consistency of crackers. King Soopers has an area when they sell mark down day-old pastry. Safeway sells old pastry at their regular price with their fresh product. Oatmeal cookies are normally a soft cookie, but not at the Safeway In their Bakery dept they should be called oatmeal crackers. read more

They do their best, it is a very busy store and in the worst ways. CALL OUT TO TERRI who works the self checkout, always super helpful and patient with customers. read more

Tim is the most PETTY male I've ever encountered. I was in self checkout and noticed my box of pasta was open. I mentioned to Tim I had all my stuff there and asked if I could run and grab a new one. I then said what do I do with the open box, and his literal reply was "I don't want it!, do you?!?" I said. It's open! He said to put it back and quit making more work for him. I could not believe it and just walked and grabbed a new box. Came back and all my stuff had been cleared from my checkout station and when I asked where it was. Tim said " I thought you left, so I moved it". Mind you the pasta section is literally right behind self checkout. Took me 30sec to grab a new box. The lady next to me had to tell me he hid my basket behind him so I couldn't see it. I thanked her and grabbed it and checked out. Tim hates his job and is PETTY. Beyond worse than a woman. Mind you, I was buying King Crab Legs boo boo. He mad! I'm gonna write this and then eat an expensive meal. Tim, I bet you wish you could afford a meal like this. Fool! read more

Safeway - a bag of hot dogs and a bag of sausages - Grocery Near Me - Denver, Colorado

i really really wish i could give zero stars when i was there i noticed large tubs of parmesean cheese that were expired and had mold growing in them. i messed up the shelf and laid them out funny so an employee would have to attend to them. we went back a week later and the same parm tubs with mold were there and placed back up on the shelf. wtf! that's the day we bought cream cheese there and i got sick from eating it. now i get that i probably should have stopped shopping there as soon as i saw the disgusting cheese, but i didn't. it's pretty lame that a grocery store doesn't keep stock of it's inventory and keep it's customers safe. also ironic, or is it, i don't understand the rules of using ironic, however, i think alanis could fit something about the safeway not being safe into a catchy phrase. moral of the story, when everyone you know refers to an establishment as the "unsafeway," maybe you shouldn't shop there. read more

The gentleman with the mustache and hat in the deli does a great job making and serving up the food. Great food great prices even better customer service. read more

Good for the essentials, but not your best selection of organic fruits and veggies. The staff seems to be as lost as I was, but it has many options. Also, a Starbucks and pharmacy inside! read more

The bad experience begins in the parking lot. The beggars, tresspassers drunks, junkies, and homeless folks compliment the 1/2 size parking spaces and people that do not understand how to park. The store doesn't feel safe or clean. The odors that come from the meat department seem to be a cross between a dirty Cambodian seafood market and a bleach factory. This place is understaffed as well. However, they have great apple fritters and fried chicken. read more

Okay, so this is not the greatest part of town. In fact i'm not sure you want to park at the far end of the parking lot after dark. But I am giving five stars because of the employees. They have always been extremely friendly and helpful. More so than any other grocery store I've been to in Denver. This is including various other Safeways, King's, Lowes, save-a-lot, whole foods, Walmart, trader joe's and sprouts. For the last year I've been going here about once every 2 weeks on average and I'm always surprised how all of them in my experience (from produce, the meat counter, checkout and pharmacy) genuinely seem to care about me as a person and not only a customer. Makes no sense. I'm baffled. But I just want to give them their due. read more

Often referred to as the "not so safeway" cause it's near 5 points...still has all the fruit, veggies, meat and 10 for $10 items I need. And if you're lucky, you'll only get harassed for money by the homeless guy once a trip...if you're lucky. read more

I was doing OK with the not-so-Safeway until I got approached by some homeless guy in the meat section for money. I have never gone back and I would recommend to everyone to just drive down Colfax an extra 10 minutes and go to the super awesome Safeway at 14th and Krameria. Its worth it. And have never been asked for money in their meat section. read more

Some people tell me this is not the "nicest" Safeway. So it doesn't look like the one in Wash Park on Corona, but it does the job. Not only that but I have found that the staff their are way more helpful than other Safeway's I have visited. The man behind the deli counter always has the biggest smile and so do the cashiers. It is also next to one of my favorite nail salons (also not beautiful and tranquil but the do a better than average job) and a decent liquor store. read more
